Reports relating to the General meeting of the Parish Council of Moulton held on 3rd March 2015

Clerk’s Report

1. The Speed Indicator Device (SID) has now been installed in Moulton Seas End.

2. The clerk has met with Chris Dawson, the newly appointed grounds maintenance contractor and inspected all sites in the parish. All relevant documentation has been provided including public & private liability insurance, employers liability insurance, risk assessment, method statement, COSHH assessment, accident procedure and health & safety policy.

3. The additional Insurance premium for the Speed Indicator Device will be £9.51 but this has been waived until the next renewal date as a revised schedule was not required.

4. East Midlands Ambulance Service have agreed to present an awareness course for the defibrillator use. The course will take approximately 2 hours and will be held on Tuesday 21st April 2015 at 6.30 pm in the village hall at Moulton Seas End. Anyone is welcome to attend.

5. The land owners of the site behind the war memorial in Moulton Seas End are not prepared to allow any planting of trees or shrubs as they may wish to seek planning on the site in the future. They may also seek permission for the war memorial to be moved slightly to allow access although there is nothing affirmative at this stage.

6. The title deeds for Moulton Community Association building have been forwarded from Roythornes to Maples.

7. Permission has now been granted for the SID to be sited on the requested lamp post along Fengate in Moulton Chapel. Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership are still waiting for a final decision on Post & Sockets as an alternative to lamp posts.

8. LRSP have confirmed that the lamp post at the junction of Roman Bank & Seas End Road is not suitable for displaying the SID as it may draw the drivers’ attention away from the need to focus on emerging vehicles at the junctions.
